Comment:

Easy class. Go to lecture and take notes. One paper mandated by the department. Book is not needed. Very hard to not get an A in his class. Hard to hear him because he has a really low and coarse voice.

Comment:

Lectures are very important and tests come directly from them. Great teacher and very into the subject matter. Unfortunately he does not give any practice questions before the exams so you feel like you are going into them blind. I had a hard time but still thought he was excellent.

Comment:

He's the guy to take for macromicro. class is a breeze if you listen carefully, take good notes, and keep up with the material because tests are very straight forward. Humble and modest, but has a strong authority on the subject and can be pretty funny. ONLY issue is his vocal cords are going so you really have to pay attention to hear him right.

Comment:

If you attend class, you should be able to easily pass the exams. If you don't attend class, find out the topics covered and the book will tell you all you need to know. No curveballs, just straightforward material. You either know it or you don't.

Comment:

Take him! He explains very well each concept and takes time to answer questions. Doesn't take attendance. You don't even have to buy the book. Midterm & final are easy to ace, he allows you to use an index card with formulas during the exam. He's an easy grader on your research paper & presentation (which is done in groups). Take him!

Great professor! He teaches the material very well and will take time to go over anything you're confused about as many times as you need him to. Attendance isn't mandatory but I recommend you go to his lectures and take good notes. You don't need to buy and read the the textbook to pass his exams if you have sufficient notes. Take him!

Comment:

Summer session Cons: barely audible, teaches the subject and not the test questions will trip you up. Pros: the entire course is a rehash & review of macro intro & intermediate. 2 out of 3 quizes & 2 midterms with optional final. Take all macros consecutively & you'll be fine with this prof though he does not curve.

the best professor. Highly recommend him. He makes complicated things simple. You don't have to read the textbook which is lengthy and sometimes confusing. Just study his notes and understand his lecture, you will get an A.

Comment:

Good professor but 60% of your grade is based on the final (40% is the midterm) which is ridiculous. Many people aced the midterm and did poorly on the final and their GPAs suffered as a result. Still, a better professor than others by a long shot.

Didn''t even read the textbook before the final. Write down everything he says, then study it. Tests are straight-forward from the notes and the problems he does in class, no tricks.

not that hard, but need to write down all he says, and understand his lecture notes. The book is very tedious, you don't need to read it. we just downloaded the slides from internet.

I really enjoyed Prof. Ramin class. He cares about students learning and is helpful when you have questions. I really recommend taking the course with him. Took Macro with another professor and regretted it.

Comment:

The professor tries to explain everything in a clear manner. The grade composition is 50% midterm and 50% final. So if you screw up on either one of them you'll end up with a not so good grade. Final was difficult, some of the questions made no sense even though I attended all classes & did well on the midterm. Did not curve the midterm.

Comment:

Really knows his stuff. He can be a little hard to understand but he really makes an effort to make sure everyone learns the material. Tests are based on the book and notes, but I only went to half the classes and got a b+ just reading the book

Makes Econ simple. Take really good notes and study them and you'll do fine. I only recall 3 or 4 questions not being directly from the notes.

Comment:

He comes to class unprepared, and puts little to no effort into the class. The tests are difficult and he doesn?t show what the class average is so you don?t know how you did in relation to your peers. I?ve taken 10 classes to date and he?s the worst professor so far. He don?t really explain how the material is going to be tested.

Comment:

His grading is very arbitrary, one midterm and final. A lot of the test questions are not covered in his class. You need to read the book even though he barely discusses the book. It is definitely not an easy A or A- like past students mentioned. Be forewarned!

Comment:

Dont take him if you have a choice. His tests are inconsistant. The questions will either be ridiculously easy or really hard. No middle ground. You will not learn much regardless of your grade. He is not a good teacher.

Good choice. Knowledgeable, passionate, fair. Always ready to answer questions. Overall engaging and funny, occasionally irritable but no biggie. 40% midterm, 60% final, multiple choice. Formulas not complex but must be memorized and practiced. 1st derivatives is all the calc you need. Subject gives you vital concepts for finance and marketing.

Comment:

the only negative is that he has difficulty speaking clearly - almost like he has a constant sore throat. But ALL his tests are extremely fair - straight from the notes.
